description	OxMySQL for FiveM — SQL integrations with MySQL/MariaDB. Use when writing or editing server-side database code: queries, inserts, updates, transactions, or any resource that uses oxmysql (query, insert, prepare, update, single, scalar, rawExecute, transaction). Docs: https://coxdocs.dev/oxmysql

OxMySQL

SQL integration for FiveM using OxMySQL (replacement for mysql-async / ghmattimysql). Server-side only. Use MariaDB over MySQL 8 for compatibility.

When to use

• User asks for database queries, inserts, updates, or SQL in a FiveM resource.
• Editing or writing code that uses MySQL.* or exports.oxmysql.
• Designing tables, upserts, or transactions.

Setup

• Lua: server_script '@oxmysql/lib/MySQL.lua' in fxmanifest (above other scripts).

Rules

Read the rule that matches what you're doing:

• rules/placeholders.md — Safe parameters (? placeholders), avoid SQL injection.
• rules/query.md — MySQL.query / MySQL.query.await: SELECT returns rows; other statements return insertId/affectedRows.
• rules/insert.md — MySQL.insert: insert row, returns insert id.
• rules/prepare.md — MySQL.prepare: prepared statements, only ? placeholders; faster for repeated queries.
• rules/update.md — MySQL.update: update rows, returns affected count.
• rules/single.md — MySQL.single: one row or nil.
• rules/scalar.md — MySQL.scalar: single value (one row, one column).
• rules/rawExecute.md — MySQL.rawExecute: raw execution, no automatic result shape.
• rules/transaction.md — MySQL.transaction: run multiple queries in a transaction.
